six days in the Canadian-U.S. border wilds, made a dramatic escape from
death, The rescue operations which saved them was one of the most diffi-

SOCIAL SERVICES AND

THEIR COST

\
For some time past a steady

demand has been made by the peo-
ple in many countries, including’
Britain, the United States and Ca-
nada for more and more sotial
services. It is becoming: apparent,
however, that many are ‘now be-
ginning to think about the high
cost of these services. People are
beginning to realize that the Gov-
ernment has no money of its own,
and that when additional sums for
social services are spent then the
very persons who receive the ser-
vices themselves have to pay for
their share. Additional expendi-
'tures by the Government mean, of
course, higher direct and indirect
taxes for. all. The taxes, then, are
added to the price of the goods
which people’ have to buy.. This
results.in increased costs of living,
In turn this incites Labour Unions
to demand higher hourly wages
which again increases the costs of
;everything people purchase. Some

FOR MEMBERSHIP

‘Last season a number of pros-
pective Seed Growers were dis-
appointed because they did not
receive. Crop Registration Certifi-
cates to cover crops that had been
planted with pedigreed seed. In
most cases—where the crop itself
proved suitable—the reason’ for
this was because the grower had
not applied for~ membership in
the Canadian Seed™~Growers’ As-
sociation early enough:

“All seed growers who are not
members. of the Association must
apply for membership prior” to
July 31st in the year in which
they wish their crop inspected:

not receive a Crop Registration
Certificate. on a crop in 1948.
Ttiose who did receive a Certifi-
cate are members in good stand-
ing of the Association and need
not apply again. Application
forms for membership in the Ca-
nadian Seed Growers’ Association
now accompany application forms
for crop inspection of registered
crops. Membership .in the Canadi-
an Seed Growers’ Association is
not required ‘for production of
certified crops.

“Growers who desire to have
crops inspected must apply for
such service prior to July Ist, This
is in order that the inspe
work can be organized to the best
advantage. “f

RAINFALL DISTRIBUTION IN
WHEAT PRODUCTION

(Experimental Farm News)
A. twelve-year study recently
completed indicates that in the
Peace River region adequate June
rainfall is vital for satisfactory
grain yields. Precipitation at any
time is of secondary consequence.
Wet autumns and heavy winter
snows, says A. C. Carder, BDomin-
ion Experimental Station, Beaver-
lodge, . Alta; undoubtedly benefit
the next season’s crops but do not
result in abundant yields unless
supplemented by ‘late spring or
early summer rains. ‘
Moisture supplies for crop
growth are dependent on rainfall
and seepage of snow-melt. This
latter factor is an uncertain quan-

tity. In some years percolation of |

yield of wheat did not seem sig-

nificantly related to the amount
of rainfall occurring during crop
growth (April-August). However,
yield was more closely associated
to the amount of precipitation oc-
curring the first half of the grow-
ing season than to that falling
from late June to haryest. When
the growing season was broken
down to its monthly’ components,
a very definite association be-
tween June .rainfall and wheat
yield was’ indicated, while rain oc-
curring in the other months,:April,
May,, July or August did not show

below the roots. The squirrels

BANK CREDIT oils the driving gears of production,

industry and commerce. It helps to produce the goods

and provide the services and jobs which mark the |

Canadian way of life. 7

“Money in the bank’? is the foundation of credit.
You and some seven million other depositors have
nearly seven billion dollars in the chartered banks.

To pay for work done, goods produced, bought and
sold, Canadians issue — every month — upwards of
six billion dollars in cheques.

Cashing these cheques, making loans, discounting —
notes — in many different ways your bank keeps money, ~
and credit moving through all the channels of trade
and opportunity . . . like oil in the machinery,
This whole vast, private, competitive, efficient process is
made possible by your “money in the bank’ — and

_ by the experience and skill and integrity of the

' men and women on Canadian bank staffs.

Going to your bank is not

like having fo deal with a state
bureau—but that’s how it would
be under state monopoly,

ealth In Minerals

A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR Canada’s mining industry is predicted by
all those who are familiar with that subject. At present mining is one of
our most important industries and Canada stands high among other coun-
tries in the production of metals., At a recent convention of the Canadian
Institute of Mining and Metallurgy it was reported that the total value of
the output of our mines in 1948 was $484,000,000. This was a record figure,
but it was said to be partly due to the fact that prices are now at high
levels, However, there were also indications of increases in the volume
ot production, and it was announced that Canada ‘holds first position in
the production of nickel,: platinum and asbestos, second in gold and Zinc,
third in silver and copper, and fourth in: lead. .

’ s . s s s

Considering that Canada is a young country and
that many of our mineral’resources are just begin-

H . ning to be developed, it is clear why there is so
Entire Nation sick confidence in the‘future of the mining indus-
try. _1n addition to those products which have already been mentioned there
are the Western oil fields which give promise of making Canada one of the
world's richest sources of petroleum, There are also the great iron ore
deposits in .Labrador, which have yet to be deyeloped and which are ex-
pected to produce a large part of the world’s supply of that metal. Added
to these are many areas, as yet to be opened up, but believed to be rich
in minerals of various kinds.

7 While all these resources are primarily of importance
Will Someday to the mining industry, the wealth which it is antici-

H pated that’ they will someday bring into the country
Bring Wealth will affect our entire economy. Mr. Lawrence Stein-
hardt, American Ambassador to Canada pointed out in a recent address
that Alberta oil might permanently solve Canada’s foreign exchange prob-
lem, since the dollars which have been spent for American oil could be
used to buy other products which we cannot purchase now. The rich re-
sources which have already been developed and the promise of perhaps
even greater ones still to be discovered are important to the, future of
Canada. Through them new employment .will be created, tax revenues
will be: increased and foreign trade will benefit. Canadians will follow with
interest the progress of this great industry and no doubt its effect on the
national economy will increase steadily.

DOW WEED

TULSA, Okla. — William B,
Young, .Dallas, S.D., flying stu-
dent, licked his wounds after a
mid-air battle with a_ panic-
stricken cat.

Young reported he was flying‘
at 2,500 feet on a practice flight
when the cat crawled froin a re-
cess in the cockpit and jumped
onto his lap. 7

He petted it for a while. Then,
he said the animal ‘twent com-
pletely crazy”, biting and claw-

- ing at his face.

Jack Gentry, flight chief at
the aeronaytics school, — said
Young then did “the only thing
possible’’. :

Grabbing the terrified cat
with one hand and flying the
plane with the other, he manag-
ed to open the cockpit -cowling
and throw the: animal out.

Young’s hands were bitten
nearly to the bone in several
places, Gentry said, and he was
badly scratched about the face.

WIND, DUST

As I backed the car out of the

shed. The way it was teetering in
the wind, I expected I'd come home
to find it blown through the dining

town. And what could I do to an-

can anyone do to anchor anything

with mock pride.

One man had been up on his wind-

to hold their 30th annual conven-
tion at Lake Louise, Alberta, on
Sept. 12, 138 and 14 next, has proved
exceedingly popular among highway
engineers and government repre-
sentatives in the eastern provinces.
Already a surprisingly large number
of reservations have been made for
the chateau Lake Louise, which will
be the headquarters of this domin-
ion-wide gathering.

At least nine of the ten provinces
will be officially represented by min-
isters of highways or public works
and gates.

His Honor the Lieutenant-Govern-
or of Alberta, Hon. George Campbell
Bowen, is expected to officially open
the convention on the morning of
Monday, Sept.'12, when the Hon. D.
B. MacMillan, minister of public
works, Alberta, will . welcome the
delegates, At the annual dinner on
the Wednesday evening, Hon. E. C.
Manning, premier of Alberta, will be
the guest of honor and speaker.

Top-ranking Canadian highway
engineers and prominent road build-
ing authorities from the United
States will be found on the program
now in course of preparation. The
subject to be dealt with .will cover
not only construction. and mainten-
ance of summer and winter high-
ways, but also such matters as soil
compaction, dust-proofing, bridges
and aerial surveys for right-of-way
locations:
